In the automotive world some things are assured. There's no replacement for displacement. There will always be stick-on chrome accessories. Traffic will always suck. TVR will always be on the cusp of existence.

Defunct as of July 2012, the British marque reeks of a certain kind of British madness, well presented by this gathering of TVR enthusiasts in London. Thunder in the Tunnels ostensibly raises money for the curing of some manner of cancer, but it could as well raise money for hearing aides for those lucky enough to wander into one of London's targeted tunnels the morning of the Thunder run.

We mention all this because, mysteriously, the TVR homepage has been updated overnight with the words "Never say Never." If this update implies renewed life at the Brit brand this morning's wake up call is better than coffee indeed!
